Bug Fixes

BZ#1112388

Previously, some cgroup controller types used in the /etc/cgconfig.conf file were not recognized. As a consequence, parsing error occurred in Augeas and an error message was returned. With this update, the Augeas module can parse files containing these controller names as expected.

BZ#1121263

Entries in the /etc/services file containing colons in the service name prevented Augeas from parsing the file. This update makes sure that the "service_name" field in the services.aug file is able to support the colon character, and the aforementioned entries can now be parsed successfully.

BZ#1129508

When entries in /etc/rsyslog.conf were configured for remote logging over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Augeas was unable to parse the file. The underlying source code has been fixed, and files containing this configuration are now parsed successfully.

BZ#1144652

By default, the /etc/sysconfig/iptables.save file was parsed by the wrong module, which led to a parsing failure and an error reported by Augeas. The wrong module has been substituted with a correct one, and /etc/sysconfig/iptables.save is now parsed correctly by default.

BZ#1175854

Previously, the Augeas utility did not correctly parse the "ssh" and "fence_kdump_*" parameters in the /etc/kdump.conf file. As a consequence, using Augeas to edit these parameters in kdump configuration failed. With this update, Augeas has been updated to parse "ssh" and "fence_kdump_*" as intended, and the described problem no longer occurs.

BZ#1186318

Previously, the aug_match API returned paths of files and nodes with special characters unescaped, unsuitable for use in further API calls. Consequently, specially constructed file names could cause programs built on Augeas to function incorrectly, and implementing escaping in such programs was impossible. With this update, Augeas escapes paths returned from aug_match correctly, and paths returned from aug_match can be used safely and reliably in further API calls.

BZ#1203597

Prior to this update, Augeas was unable to parse the /etc/krb5.conf configuration files containing values with curly brackets ("{}"). To fix this bug, Augeas lens (parser) has been fixed to handle these characters in krb5.conf setting values, and Augeas can now parse these krb5.conf files as expected.

BZ#1209885

Previously. Augeas was unable to parse the .properties (Java-style) files containing a multi-line value that begins with a blank line. Augeas lens (parser) has been fixed to accept an empty starting line, thus fixing this bug.

Enhancement

BZ#1160261

A lens for the /etc/shadow file format has been added to Augeas to parse the shadow password file.
